There are fantasy stories set in worlds of fairies and
wizards, and there are ones set in the real world. Scottish
writer Robert Louis Stevenson's *Treasure Island* is the
latter, a tale about a young person like you or your
classmates. It takes place in a world like yours, but the most
exciting things happen. You don't always need magic to tell a
magical story!
Jim Hawkins, an English boy, first learns about
treasure hidden on an island by the pirate Captain Flint. He
then gets the chance to join a voyage with Captain Smollett in
hopes of finding the treasure.
One of the crew members is a man called "Long" John
Silver. Jim finds out that the one-legged John is a pirate who
knows about the treasure and wants it for himself. Silver
persuades others on the ship to join him in a mutiny暴乱.
Jim tells Captain Smollett about Silver. Once on the
island, Jim sees just how dangerous Silver is as he watches
Silver murder谋杀another pirate.
While wandering the island, Jim meets a half-mad soul
named Ben Gunn. When Captain Flint left his treasure
behind, he also left Ben.
Silver gets control over the expedition but the other
pirates turn on him, just as Silver turned on Captain
Smollett. Silver and Jim, both captives俘虏now, have to
work together if they want to escape.
Although he is a criminal, Silver shows he can also be
brave. He is not entirely evil, but has a mixture of both good
and evil qualities.
Jim learns from the mission that people will kill and
betray their friends for money. But he also understands that
people are sometimes more than they seem to be on the
surface.
